Not sure why that called it 3DO, but it was a CD-based games console
released around 1993. Originally produced by Panasonic, it ended up being
produced by Goldstar (or vice versa). A mate of my brothers brought it round
to our house in 1994, and showed us a few games.
I recall a first-person shooter style Hounted House style game, with ghosts
and other creatures as the bad guys, and some helicopter flying game. It was
also the first time I saw full-motion-video in action.
I was blown away by it. Mind you, only a year earlier we had made the jump
I still fire up my Playstation 1 even with the
dated graphics
because the games are fun, same with my C64. How many people bother
with the 3DO these days after the CDROM gimmick got old?
WTF is a 3DO?
from Spectrum to Megadrive. (OMG, look at all those
colours!!)
